About ME
APPROACH
I believe therapy is most effective when people feel understood, respected, and genuinely supported. For four decades, I've worked with adolescents, college students, adults, and couples navigate life's challenges in a warm, collaborative, and confidential environment. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping strategies, and create lasting change.
